Our Story (told the Lemon Blossoms way, of course!)
This isn’t just a recipe site… it’s a permission slip to have more fun, and be more mindful, in the kitchen.
Kathy has been immersed in bold flavors all through her life – spicy Peruvian, fresh Greek, and multi-cultural, sun-kissed Californian. Put together her formal culinary training and the time she spent in the kitchen with the likes of Chef Wolfgang Puck, Chef Bobby Flay, Jet Tila, and others, and you get a person who is quite proficient and comfortable in a kitchen.
She has been an Executive Chef. She has prepared meals for celebrity clients all over the city of Los Angeles. She has managed a gourmet catering business that served from the sets of studios to everyday families.
But here’s the twist:
The best cooking doesn’t happen when you’re trying to impress people. It happens when you honor your values, work with what you have, and never apologize for feeding people with love.
That is what Lemon Blossoms is all about.
The Philosophy That Changed Everything
We have all, at some point, lost a bit of touch with the connection to food. The pace of life quickened, more and more shortcuts were taken, and the quality of meals, well, it dropped too.
Intentional Cooking is what we propose to solve that problem.
in·ten·tion·al cook·ing
The preparation of food with a caring attitude that respects the values of one’s self – they could be cultural, moral, health-driven, budget-friendly, or just about feeding people with love.
It is not a diet. Not a set of rules. Not a “you must soak your cashews overnight or else” kind of situation.
It’s more like cooking with your eyes and heart open.
Every recipe we provide will soon include our Eight Pillars of Intentional Cooking: Environmental Impact, Animal Welfare, Health & Healing, Consciousness & Spirituality, Culture & Tradition, Financial Awareness, Time & Convenience, and Social Justice.
